ahrefs Release Notes

Brand Radar reports now provide AI visibility insights across across all platforms at once, rather than having to check specific platforms (though this is still an option). By default, reports will show combined data across prompt-based platforms, including new indexes we have for AI Overviews and Google’s AI Mode.

We’ve released new indexes for AI Overviews and AI Mode in Brand Radar. These indexes are focused on long-form style queries, rather than including short terms from our Keywords Explorer database. The previous AIO and AI Mode indexes are still available to select, but only the old AIO index will continue to update.

Lite, Standard, Advanced and Enterprise v2 customers can now add up to 20 competitors (vs 10 previously) to their projects, while Enterprise v3 can add up to 100. These limits are supported in the Dashboard as well as Site Explorer, Rank Tracker, and Competitive Analysis tools. Please note that Content Gap and Link intersect functionality is capped at 20 competitors.

In the GSC Insights tool there’s now an option to see and export aggregated metrics across all keywords and pages. This applies to comparison history charts in the Keywords, Keyword lists, and Pages reports.

We’ve added two additions to the Site Audit tool to help you understand and fix issues the tool highlights.

A Fix with Agent A button sends current issues to Agent A to investigate (which also has the ability to implement changes based on your connectors).

Copy for AI in the API button provides all the meta info you need, ready to paste as markdown for your AI assistant of choice.

Two new additions have been made to the Ahrefs API, specifically relating to Brand Radar. Firstly, you can now filter by tags across all Brand Radar endpoints (AI responses, cited pages, etc.). Also, when creating a custom report, you can now provide brand entities (with brand variations and domains). View the Brand Radar API docs to learn more.

You can now search across the entirety of ahrefs.com (main site, blog, and help center) from a single search box, powered by Yep. Click the search icon in the header, or use either / or CMD/Ctrl+K shortcuts for it to appear.

We’ve added a small but useful feature to the Content gap keyword table: The ability to Select all keywords at once, not just what’s in the current view.

The Competitors chart in Site Explorer has new functionality: If the target site is associated with an Ahrefs project, the resulting competitors are now pulled from its settings. Previous Overview-specific competitors are available in the “custom” tab.

The AI Citations widget in Site Explorer now shows Grok data.

It’s included in a new secondary table which allows for showing AI visibility across more platforms.

The GSC Insights tool now supports viewing aggregated metrics for custom keyword lists, allowing you to check the performance of each independently.

Social Media Manager tool users can now view and reply to comments on their social media posts.

The new Comments Inbox feature shows comments from LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, and also offers marking as open/closed, filtering, and a threaded conversation view.

We’ve improved the navigation of our Local SEO product to match the rest of the Ahrefs dashboard interface.

This change also adds a Business filter which persists across tabs.

We’ve added two new columns to the Yours tab of cited pages in Brand Radar: Bot visits and AI traffic.

These cross-reference data from our Bot Analytics and Web Analytics products and provide insights into how many bot and human visits each page receives.

We’ve begun rolling out updates to our crawler scheduling system. This should continue to help ensure Ahrefs crawls more valuable pages that marketers care about, and fewer spam and low-value pages.
